Could this be a clue as to >Cawti's onset of pregnancy (or whatever the term is)? Hi, "'Loiosh, Rocza seems funny. Is she pregnant?' 'Huh? No, boss. At least, I don't think so, I mean, the way things work--' 'Never mind. What is it, then?' 'Well, you know she's been a little closer to Cawti than I have, so, I mean--' 'Oh, I get it, All right.' The Book of Taltos, Phoenix, Lesson 9, page 278. Hmmm, Vlad is a witch too. Could some part of Vlad know that there was someone around that was pregnant? I think the following is a clue. Or maybe it is a clue that someone wanted to become pregnant. "I stared at the ceiling a while longer. It was made of beaded ceiling board, and Cawti had painted it a very pale green. 'Green?' I had said at the time. 'It represents growth and fertility,' she had explained. 'Ah ha,' I had said and we went on to other things. Now it just looked green." The Book of Jhereg, Teckla, Chapter 7, pages 381-382. Bye. Linda G.
